SWE-Charlotte-Metrolina has documented 168 volunteer hours on Outreach efforts during the first two months of 2013 utilizing the SWEeter Futures website rolled out by SWE HQ earlier this year. 138 of the 168 hours were for our Girl Scout “Engineers Are Epic!” badge event held February 23 as part of National Engineers Week. The remaining hours have been a result of our Citizen Schools 10-week Engineers Are Epic! apprenticeship in conjunction with NSBE. Thank you to all of you who volunteer! We are slowly but surely sharing the message with the next generation that engineering is a fun career choice with lots of opportunities and benefits!
